poco partido ???? steak ????

[kmf81]

i hope i spell these right, have heard of two restaurants poco partido and edra's just wondering what type of food they serve, and where would u go for a decent steak

[logicbob]

Poco Partido do a very nice stone steak well worth going for.

I bet you are wondering what a stone steak is?
Put simply, you go to a restaurant, then pay restaurant prices for being allowed to cook your own raw steak on a block of superheated rock!!!

[kmf81]

oh god, knowing my family somebody is bound to burn themselves,

You have to wear a bib, they should really supply anyone within a 5' circle with bibs because everything, including drinks, gets splattered in grease. Tastes good though.

[kmf81]

oh i'm sure that sounds like my thing, the grease alone would put me off, altough for a nice steak, i suppose i could wear all black clothing

Blue,
Just to give you a laugh. I normally wear contacts in the evenings when going out but this particular evening (after a large quantity of wine was consumed on the terrace watching the boats go by ) I wore the glasses and had a stone steak up in Fenando's in Monte Carvoeiro. I complained the whole evening about the weather really starting to look sh.t and you know yourself when a front of weather makes its way in it can stay for days but everybody kept telling me that they couldn't see any rain in what they felt was a beautiful evening. I woke up the following morning (hugely hung over ) and put the glasses back on before looking out to sea. Drat !!! the same sh.t so its going to be a bad day. You can imagine my embarrassment when I took them off to put on the sun glasses It took me the rest of the day to get the gunge off the glasses. I actually couldn't get some of it off !!!! What sort of a spanner am I

I had the stone steak at Poco Partido and it was excellent, you simply take it off the hot stone when it is done to your liking, didnt get my bib splashed once! Edra is on the corner just further up more like light snacks etc. seems quite popular, especially lunch times.

You only get lots of grease if you use huge amounts of the butter.

Its a tecnique, I often have the Stone Steak at Fernandos and its just lovely once u get the hang of it.

[SJ & RE]

Bought a stone steak for use at home, available on line. No need to add the oil or butter when cooking either in CVO or at home, the little dishes of yuk are to be put on after slicing your meat and cooiking it to your liking and then add the yuk.

I suppose it's just a matter of time before a bunch of Wayne Rooney and his family types turn up at one of these Stone steak places, pissed, have a row and start throwing these super heated rocks at eachother. What are other forum members thoughts on this?

[HampshireRich]

Don't see why that should happen - we've been using the Stone Steak in MCVO for over 12 years now, so these restaurants have been around for a long time without incident.

[dodger]

What exactly are 'Wayne Rooney and his family types'??

Do you mean people from Liverpool as opposed to deepest Surrey?

Got to be one of the strangest/most stupid posts I have read on here in a long time.

[Bruce Wallis]

I was born in Liverpool, and live in Surrey,,,,very close to dj sull actually....so what does that make me?
To give you a clue....I dont own a replica football shirt, or a pair of trainers, and I believe that I have at least 2 conjoined brain cells

When will you people realise that people like dj sull and Pato throw these bombs in the water just to evoke an indignant response.
....and it works every time

[dj sull]

Oh come off it! I only mentioned 1 bloke and his family and now I'm anti-Liverpudlian. I just used Wayne Rooney and his family as an example of English people who have behaved badly abroad, that's all. If Michael Crane had written the same post, you'd all be sitting around, debating the subject like the very intelligent people that you are. It's like a witch hunt on here sometimes. P.S. Bruce, I've just come back from the Rambler's Rest. Have you been down there since the change of management and refurb? If so, what are your thoughts my friend?
